2007s!
Hi,
I read a post somewhere about the dates for the 2007s. When do we find out what's to come? When would they be ready?
I know somebody knows the answer to this.
Thanks a million!

It seems from this post that it might be possible to check the information about '07's on April 23, and still have time to order a built-to-order '06 if the changes aren't to your liking. True?

The thought of anyone in business releasing information that could possibly hinder the remaining run of a product due to some people wanting to wait for the upgrades does seem remote.
Information like that seems like it woujld only hurt the supplier. What possible benefit would the supplier receive for releasing info like this?

I agree with water boy, but the "need to know" is great.
I would get the '06, since the current internet rumor is that the only changes are mandatory OnStar and a new orange paint color to replace DSOM. Since I want a 6-speed manual, Z51, no Nav, no XM, and no OnStar, looks like I'll order a Killer Kerbeck deal '06.
Then a NEWER internet rumor came along that the '08 C6 coupe & vert will have 425hp or 435hp (depending on which internet rumor you choose) so skipping the '07 for the '08 rears its ugly head. You can drive yourself nuts... or you could be dead before you ever get the C6!
• Look before you leap.
• He who hesitates, is lost.

A few extra HP would be a nice trick! If Onstar is mandatory, I wonder if their going to go to the Bluetooth-Onstar combo that Acura uses??!! It'd be fabulous.
Frankly - I have to believe that they're coming out w/an iPod connection! I just can't believe it'd be missing.
Of course - there's always the dream of a pop-top Z06!!!

. If indeed you saw '07s, they definitely were not regular production models, but pre-production prototypes. It's a fact that regular production of '06s runs through June 26th and regular production '07s begin the next day.

there is no way to distinguish between '06 and '07. only way is to check the VIN (per our tour guide) They also had a few of the European models. Pretty cool! wish we had the option on taillights.

I was at the Frankfurt Auto Show this past September and saw Euro versions of a coupe, convertible, and Z06. I'm not crazy about the taillights but coming out of 2 Audis before getting my C6 I wish we had the headlight washers and side fender-mounted turn signal repeaters.

What I am angling for here is some kind of validation that there will be some real changes for '07 and that's why they need to do a test build?
